Age of Empires II: HD Edition - The Forgotten vs Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Side-by-side comparison of features, pricing, ratings, and alternatives.

The Forgotten is the first official expansion for Age of Empires II: HD Edition in over a decade, bringing five new civilizations—Incas, Indians, Italians, Magyars, and Slavs—along with fresh units, technologies, and enhanced AI. It also introduces seven single‑player campaigns covering historic figures like Alaric I, Sforza, and Dracula, plus new multiplayer modes and Steam Workshop support. Designed for PC, the expansion raises the population limit, improves on‑screen rendering, and adds Steam trading cards and rankings, delivering a richer, more balanced medieval warfare experience for both solo and competitive play.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a laid-back life simulation where you develop a deserted island into a personalized community, crafting, decorating, and interacting with charming animal villagers in real time.
Around $59.99 on Nintendo Switch.
